Sen. Ted Cruz recently visited the View and instantly started some fireworks
Almost as soon as he sat down Cruz got into a heated discussion with View Co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
Cruz was quoted saying “Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams sat here and said their elections were ille=gitimate and you all were fine with it”.
Whoopi would then reply “It was”.
To which Cruz shot back “So it’s illegitimate when Republicans win but not Democrats?”
Cruz: "[Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams] sat here and said [their elections] were illegitimate and you guys were fine with it."

Whoopi: “We may not like when Republicans win, but we don’t go and we don’t storm”
Ted Cruz: “Did I miss an entire year of Antifa riots where cities across this country were burning…”
Whoopi: “I don’t know what an Antifa riot is.”

To be honest Cruz shouldn’t;t even go on the View and entertain that clown show.
The Post Millenial had these details to add:
A fiery segment on Monday’s episode of The View featured Texas Senator Ted Cruz and hosts butting heads over the Democrats’ hypocrisy when discussing claims of election fraud.
When speaking with host Whoopi Goldberg, Cruz highlighted several instances where Democrats claimed that elections were illegitimate, citing moments dating back to George W. Bush’s election victory over Al Gore in 2000.
“So it’s illegitimate when Republicans win, but not when Democrats?” Cruz asked, to which Goldberg responded “Here’s the thing. We may not like when Republicans win, but we don’t go and we don’t storm, we don’t try to change.”
Cruz responded by saying, “Did I miss an entire year of Antifa riots where cities across this country were burned and police cars were being— your position is the left doesn’t engage in violence?”

The New York Post got the scoop too:
“The View” descended into chaos Monday morning when climate protesters hijacked a live taping of the show, shouting over the top of an interview with Ted Cruz.
The daytime program’s panelists were partway through grilling the Texas senator on the upcoming midterm elections when several women in the audience began chanting: “Cover climate now!”
Cruz continued to talk over the chants before one of the activists reportedly yelled out: “F – – k you, Ted Cruz!”
The profanity prompted moderator Whoopi Goldberg to fire back before the show quickly cut to commercial.
“Ladies, ladies! Excuse us! Let us do our jobs,” Goldberg blasted back. “We hear what you have to say, but you gotta go! You gotta go, you gotta let us do our job.”
An ABC spokesperson told The Post in a statement: “Three members of the audience interrupted ‘The View’ today during Sen. Ted Cruz’s appearance protesting about climate. They were promptly escorted out by security.”
